@3ameam Would it still be a db wide lock even with file per table? Do you know when it was fixed? About to do some software archeology to see how this was fixed. /cc @sunbains

It is interesting how these techniques can take hardware into account: optimizations for locally attached NVMe, dealing with network jitter with iSCSI or EBS, etc…

Any meta/survey treatments of group commit techniques that show trade offs of various approaches? I have implemented an initial version of Kudu’s WAL group commit a decade ago and still use that code as a reference for coding, designing, or reviewing similar implementations.

Excellent, more people describing how to write to disk efficiently and correctly

While his theoretical linguistic work (Chomsky hierarchy) has been quite useful in the fields of programming languages and compilers, it should be noted that when it comes to computational natural language processing it is seen by many as sending the field on a wild goose chase. There seems to be some commonality with his political work: grand theorizing, discarding or omitting evidence to the contrary.

@RitornellaNYC @develop7 The first time I heard the term “filtration camp” - and about what went on there - was in the context of the first Chechen war. I have no desire to watch yet another “sturgeon with horseradish” Russian liberal yap for 2.5 hours, but I am guessing none of that is mentioned there.

Pretty interesting post courtesy of Mark Callaghan.

Very interesting blog overall. I too hope Domas continues to write.

Zaid (@ redixhumayun) is a smart guy looking for work based out of Bengaluru. If you want a developer who enjoys tackling Raft implementations and other interesting databases/distsys topics you should talk with him.

It’s important to remember there are plenty of problems unrelated to memory safety that are solved by unique mutability and lifetimes.

For a second I thought this said “thermidor”, but that was an over-reaction.

@SpaghettiKozak is that an LLM trained on dril?

The man who gained fame by successfully sending two generations of researchers in linguistic on a wild goose chase (see https://t.co/nGxdL8uE8L) and used this fame to make himself of the best known apologists for tyrants & murders and to defame all those who opposed them.

@DrugGovoruna I follow you as we seem to have similar background (“Eastern Slavic other than ‘Great Russian’” Jewish migrant to the US, software engineers) and political views. Too many righties fawning “based Russia”, too many left-liberals right about Ukraine but only for partisan reasons.
